Awake When I Am Awake

Awake oh my soul and sing Awake oh my soul and dance Awake oh my soul and live Morning broke in great despair Murmuring filtering the atmosphere Cars and trucks litter the street While everyone is sound asleep I prowl the street just before dawn seeking solace for my exhausted soul But the noisy traffic kept pounding on the bridge and forced me to escape to the top of the hill I sat between the thick shrubs waiting for the masters words but the cars kept going around the bend and the sound thump louder in my head Nature whimpers and sigh in the dark Expelling an unseemly tantrum in the air My strangled breath choked with anxiety Nothing I do could make me feel happy I sat there for more than an hour But not one single word could I utter The trucks and cars kept racing about Maddening the cold bare earth with boisterous words I manage to forced out an old hymn and alas the savior enters in A sudden breeze swept over me and a few rain drops covered me He silently utter these ambiguous words They are awake when you are awake They are asleep when you are asleep cowards hanging out in the parking lot Watching my shadow unlocking the door. meddling in my dreams and unnerving my soul.
